Potential Lemon Law Claims with BMW Hybrid Cars
BMW has issued a recall for more than 4,500 hybrid vehicles because of debris that was on the battery cell, which could lead to a fire. This defect is a serious safety problem that could lead to serious injuries or death. At this time there is not a fix that will eliminate this problem. The recall includes the following BMW vehicles:
- 2021 BMW 330E hybrid sedans
- 2020-2021 BMW 530E hybrid sedans
- 2021 BMW 745LE hybrid sedans
- 2020 BMW i8 hybrid sports cars
- 2020-2021 BMW X3 hybrid crossovers
- 2021 BMW X5 hybrid SUVs
- 2020-2021 Mini Countryman crossovers
The BMW cars that have the following high voltage battery models may be affected:
- 8658344-11/345-11
- 8678566-10/567-10
- 9452661-04
This recall is something that all drivers should know about. Under the Song-Beverly Act, car manufacturers are required to repair vehicles while they are under warranty. The law also forces manufacturers to repurchase or “buy back” (in a few instances replace the defective car) cars that the company is unable or unwilling to fix after a reasonable number of repair attempts.
If you have leased or own one of the vehicles listed above or another BMW that has had a number of repair attempts by the dealer but the problem still exists, you need a Pasadena Lemon Lawyer to help you. Don’t let the manufacturer take advantage of you and allow you to continue to drive the defective and unsafe vehicle you are driving.
